Controls and Features Windshield Washer To clean the windshield, push in the washer button on the end of the turn signal lever. For a constant spray, push and hold the button. If the windshield wipers are off, one momentary push results in one wipe and a longer push in three wipes and activation of washer fluid. If the windshield wipers are in interval mode a quick tap results in two wipe cycles and a longer tap in three wipes and washer fluid activation. Do not try to clean the windshield when the washer fluid container is empty and never activate the washers for more than fifteen seconds continuously. This could damage the washer pump system. RWARNING Always warm up the windshield with the defroster before you use the washer fluid. In freezing weather, the washer solution may freeze on the windshield and obscure your vision. For information about refilling the washer fluid or replacing your windshield wiper blades, see Windshield washer fluid and Wipers in the Index. Gearshift Lever The gearshift lever on your vehicle is mounted on the steering column. On the end of the gearshift lever is the Overdrive On/Off button and the OVERDRIVE OFF lamp. For additional information about the gearshift lever and the Overdrive On/Off button, see the Driving chapter. 97
